Chief of Staff

About Cleavr

“Cleavr makes sure companies get paid on time”

Founded in 2026 by Arthur Guerin, Antoine Grenard and Baptiste Nassoy, Cleavr is an AI startup specializing in accounts receivable. Cleavr makes collections smarter and faster for companies that have historically relied on manual processes that are labor intensive and costly.

For 4,000 years, people have chased payment for work already done. We bring that money home, so our clients can get back to their real job. We are growing 75% month over month with zero customer churn.

The Role

We are hiring a Chief of Staff to be the founding team’s right hand on the cross-functional projects that shape the company. The work runs in sprints: you take a subject the founders cannot give proper time to, drive it to a result, then hand it over to whoever owns it next. You’ll be the first person to hold this position and you’ll work directly with the three cofounders, on hiring, on go-to-market experiments, on M&A, on fundraising, and other major topics that drive the company’s hypergrowth.

Why Join?

• You work on what the founders cannot get to. Hiring, new sales motions, M&A, fundraising - the subjects that decide what Cleavr looks like in a year.
• You report to the CEO and sit with the cofounders. You see everything: cap table, board, pipeline, compensation, and all key metrics.
• 50+ clients live, ARR up 75% month over month since January 2026.

What You’ll Do

• Scale the team from 6 to 25 in three months: run the hiring process end to end, own onboarding, track how new joiners actually perform, and put people in a position to do their best work.
• Open new sales motions. We have a long list to test: PE fund partnerships, tech partnerships, events, a referral programme. You launch each one, prove there is something there, then hand it to a dedicated owner.
• Take on cross-functional initiatives from start to finish with full autonomy, so the founders can focus on the work with the highest leverage.
• Work our M&A opportunities: sourcing, deal analysis, valuation and diligence alongside the founders.
• Support the CEO on fundraising: materials, data room, investor pipeline, follow-up.

You Might Be a Fit If You…

• Are results oriented. You are judged on what shipped, not on what was planned.
• Are detail oriented enough that your work does not need a second pair of eyes.
• Are highly autonomous. You are given a subject, not a method.
• Can be trusted with anything sensitive: compensation, cap table, board material, hiring decisions.
• Have 4+ years in a demanding environment, whether consulting, banking, VC, or an operating role in a fast-growing startup.
• Can move from a hiring pipeline to a deal analysis to an investor deck in a single morning.
• Are fluent in French and English.
